HER FRIENDS AREN'T THAT INTERESTING?
I've got some friends who aren't that interesting as well! (After editing, the sentence became: When she looks at blogs she sees the weblogs she knows; and misses the enormity of the medium.)
I'm beginning to get the impression that there is some kind of history that colors Dave's view of the book or Rebecca or something said in the past. What I can tell you is that this comment about "her friends" doesn't flow naturally from a reading of Rebecca's book.

SUMMER READING
Reading list. I'm not quite sure why, but I haven't been documenting what I've been reading for the past few months. Laziness [kottke.org]

MY BOOKS ON GOLF DIDN'T HELP!
Too much?. Okay, do we really need all these books about weblogs? Is it really that complex a thing that we need instruction? I think the basic how-to at blogger.com does a fine job. Or better yet, just look how others are doing it, and jump in. I think we're reaching the over-sat... [brilliant corners]
Other than reference books on HTML, web design and such, I only have one book on weblogs. It's great. Sure, some of what is in it will be obvious to someone who has been prowling weblogs for a while, but much of it is aimed at the person who wants to build a serious weblog with decent readership. Pick up a copy of Rebecca's The Weblog Handbook. It is more than worth the $14.00 (or $11.20 at Amazon). She knows what she's talking about.

I CAN DITTO THIS POST WITH ONE EXCEPTION...
I'm very interested in the "process" or "mechanics" that other webloggers follow. With Radio's news aggregator, it is becoming clearer to me how people find content. However, even with the aggregator, the search for new sources to subscribe to is ongoing.
How does the InstaPundit locate and read other content? Is this an exercise in bookmarking and favorites with a subsequent discipline for going back and systematically reading those bookmarked sites? Does he use any aggregator?
These are things that I wished for as I read (and reread) parts of Rebecca's book. It's great. Now, I'd like to know how the bloggers with high traffic and lots of posts do it! Oh, and thanks Rebecca!
I FINISHED REBECCA BLOOD'S new book, The Weblog Handbook: Practical Advice on Creating and Maintaining Your Blog. I liked it very much, and recommend it to anyone interested in the subject: bloggers, blog-readers, and journalists writing about weblogs. I can't help but feel that the publication of a how-to book about blogging marks an important milestone in the Blogosphere's development, though I'm not sure exactly what it means, for good or ill. What do you think? [InstaPundit]

BOOK OF BLOGGING ARTICLES
All Y'All Got Blogs. Perseus Publishing put together a neat collection of articles on blogging, including both an article by me that appeared in The Seattle Times and an article that talks about me (by J.D. Lasica). I feel privileged to be in the middle of such interesting company. The book is slightly too cutely called we've got blog (all lowercase, k d lang fans), subtitled "how weblogs are changing our culture." The book ships in a week or so; I got an advance copy just today ... [GlennLog]
